Rodriguez: Fired. A Retrospective, and What It Means For MSU
In case you've taken leave of this world for the past seven hours: Rich Rodriguez has been fired as Michigan's head coach. Rodriguez produced Michigan's worst three-year stretch since 1934-36, went 1-13 against Michigan State, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Penn State, and Iowa, incurred major NCAA...
Cavaliers Fall to Yellow Jackets; Continue in Search of First ACC Win
Virginia fans: There is no need to panic. The Cavaliers lost to a Georgia Tech team that managed to put up 477 yards – rushing yards, that is – setting a Georgia Tech record for rushing yards in an ACC game. There weren’t too many highlights, and plenty of recurring lowlights, but it’s not time to...
On Michigan State University and Thuggery
[Warning: Overdramatic blogging ahead. But it looks to be a fairly dramatic moment for both the football team and the university then, isn't it? Which is roughly the point I'll get to in a moment.] Over the coming days/weeks/months, we're going to be inundated with media and internet reports...
Final Thoughts from San Antonio
I'm back but not yet fully rested from a long but awesome weekend in San Antonio. I once told a friend of mine from SA that her town was a third-world country, but that observation was dead wrong.--What a great weather weekend.

On Contracts
Apparently K-State's decision to break off its contract with Fresno State for a game in September this year has created quite a furor, enough so that it was the first thing I saw on The Wizard of Odds this morning. It's pretty impressive to me that the cancellation of a game between a 5-7 Big 12...

Today we got this breaking headline from the KC Star sports page: "K-State trailing in KU's wake in major sports."Really? I hadn't noticed. That Howard Richman, nice guy that he is, really has a grip on the incredibly obvious.The article trots out all the stats that every sports-loving Kansan...
Would You Buy or Sell K-State Right Now?
Yesterday, Seth Davis of Sports Illustrated posted his "Buy, Sell, or Hold" for college basketball right now. The basic idea is to look at a team's position right now, pretend it is a stock in the market, and then decide whether it would be wise to buy it, sell it, or hold it right now based on...
Everyone's a Coach
And that includes me. That's part of my "job" as a blogger, to discuss issues that relate to K-State sports. It's the job of any sports journalist, to discuss, rehash, and give general (or specific) thoughts on what went on last night, last year, or last decade.None of that has changed through...
All Quiet on the Southern Front
We are currently less than 48 hours until the kickoff of the conference opener in Austin. You would never know it by reading the newspapers. I suppose they're saving up for tomorrow's big preview editions, but there has been a serious lack of coverage. If you want, you can read about how K-State...
